The hair +
makeup artist
I'm Olivia Lo and I'm a bridal hair and makeup artist serving Baltimore and Washington DC. I provide boutique beauty services for brides who want to feel like themselves.
Named one of DC's Best Vendors by Washingtonian Magazine (2025, 2026), I am known for wedding hair and makeup that feels effortless, photographs beautifully, and allows you to be fully present on your wedding day.
I can't wait to help you cherish a slower-paced morning getting pampered with your closest friends and family.
"Olivia has mastered the art of emphasizing natural beauty
while honoring the integrity of your features and staying true to them
...she became someone I trusted completely."
- Claira, Maryland Eastern Shore
You're looking for refined, effortless makeup and hair.
The bride, you
You're confident with who you are and how you look.
Together, we'll create a look that you feel your best in,
in the most comfortable way.
"Your wedding morning largely sets the tone and mood for the rest of the day.
Olivia's calm, cool, and collected demeanor really allowed me to relax that morning, be at ease, and have fun!"

Hair and makeup should feel authentic, effortless, and entirely you
Here's what makes me different:
Highly Personalized
Some brides want guidance. Others want space to explore. My role is to meet you there and build trust from that place.
Unrushed Process
My brides are often looking for something more comfortable, refined, and true to who they are. I spend time understanding how you want to look and how you want the process to feel.
Simplicity
We're busy people so doing things simply is always better. Booking with me is your 2-in-1 hair and makeup artist. One contract and one minimum.
"Calm, professional, incredibly talented, and somehow functioning as a 4-in-1 hair stylist, makeup artist, secondary photographer, and the ultimate hype girl on the day of."
- Vienna, Swann House, Washington DC
"My mom described it best: Olivia brings a calm confidence that makes you feel at ease, even when the room is buzzing with nerves and excitement. She handled our party with grace and efficiency, stayed for touch-ups, and made everyone feel so taken care of."
- Jillian, Salamander Resort in Middleburg, Virginia
"Olivia exudes an energetic yet quiet confidence that is contagious.
Hiring Olivia Lo was one of the best decisions we made."

"Olivia inherently understood all of my concerns and worries.
She executed a look which I felt so confident and beautiful in. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day, even through (many, many, many) tears of joy and plenty of dancing! Not a single streak in sight—Olivia truly has a gift for creating long-lasting looks that feel as good as they look. She expertly styled my hair to stay in place while still looking effortless. My hair does not hold curl that well and I was shocked that it stayed intact all night."
